A restaurant that charges $14 for two sticks of cabbage
A restaurant that charges $14 for two sticks of cabbage squares forces a 4% "health fee" onto the customer so they can pay their employees health insurance. What kind of business is that? They don't make enough money to pay their emp

The good: Latkes stuffed with wagyu ground beef and a pepper cream sauce on top. The cream was slightly spicy but made the dish creamy and complex. Wagyu skewers caramelized but still pink inside melt in your mouth bites of heaven. Chicken oysters sk
This restaurant is good for having drinks with
This restaurant is good for having drinks with izakaya-style dishes. The place is quite small, and parking nearby is difficult. The food was just average, and the service was okay. However, I don't think I'll be going back.

The dishes here are very unique and flavorful! The portion sizes could be bigger, however. There is street parking but can be limited. Recommend the latkes and somen!

The place itself is nice, and I'll admit the food was okay and our server was very pleasant. But everything else about this restaurant was a letdown. The music was loud and obnoxious, completely ruining the vibe. It didn't even match the at
I love this restaurant.
The food is unique and high quality. Every time I go, though, something tempers my enjoyment. Is it the upselling? The pushing of an additional menu item? Maybe it is the bill, which always feels high. For a long time, Tsubaki would add a 20% se

Tsubaki, has always been pricey, but the creative combination of flavors made it a worthwhile investment. Now it seems like they, too, are following the latest L.A. culinary trends: Trend #1: Offer basic dishes with expensive ingredients, so you can

Visited Tsubaki after learning about it via it's Michelin Bid Gourmand rating. The food is excellent (bit a little small in portion) as we tried a assortment of dishes. Good thing we made reservations the location is on the smaller side, with lo

Been wanting try this spot out for a while so we decided to celebrate our anniversary dinner here since wanted something a little more casual. First off, parking was difficult lol so we opted to do valet which was $12!!! I thought we were doing casua
Food is pretty good, but not everything is amazing.
Highlights were the mapo tofu, the scallops, and the fried rice.

Came here had the ceviche that could feed a baby it was so small and the skewers were not that great. They were missing lots of flavor. And last but not least the awkward %18 feet. Will be back to try it again after July first when they lift the fees
I was pretty disappointed when the bill came around.
They charged an additional 18% for "fair wage and operational" charges. This didn't include tip
That mushroom skewer was really good.
Cozy space, intimate. Book a reservation before going!

Worth the trip to stop by this awesome place if you are in LA (was definitely busy mainly because it was right after a Dodgers game and the stadium in close by). Service from our server was great- lots of recommendations for both food and sake. Favor
Look, it's good but not good enough to warrant a 18%
Look, it's good but not good enough to warrant a 18% service (which is taxed, so effectively 20%) fee AND expect a tip on top of it. Get your fkn sht together. Either you charge me a service fee or expect a tip, not both.
I ordered the hotate skewer and chicken oyster skewers.
I also tasted the black cod and yakisoba dishes. They were all delicious and I think the black cod was probably the best one. . The yakisoba was more spicy than I expected. They added an 18% service charge to the bill for everyone in my party of fou

" ok! come on! Silverlake ? From WeHo? Really???" I say to my friend who made this suggestion. But what a great suggestion it was Tsubaki, an Izakaya in Silverlake is the place to dine. Even if you have to drive, Uber, Lyft or Public T

I went back with a couple girlfriends after having such a good experience a few years ago. Honestly, the food just wasn't as good as I remember and I was shocked by the 18% kitchen/service fee tacked onto the bill. After paying tip on top of that you
Personally I'm not big on Izakaya.
I don't hate it but it's just never been my vibe because the portions are small and the dishes cum out slow. I do believe that people who do get excited about it will like this tho, as there was quite a long line of people waiting after we arrived.

Flavor: 3/5 - The dishes here were pretty good with the Asari Saka-Mushi, Kanpachi Crudo, and Japanese Caesar Salad standing out the most to me. The dessert was rich, creamy, and sweet, which I actually loved despite not typically being into desserts

Food was fantastic! Must haves: Caesar salad, prawns, clams, chicken oysters and chicken wings !! The only reason for the 4 star is because of the valet guy. Very rude. VERY rude. we visited on 2/24, 8-10pm. other than that, this place deserves a
Food was delicious and the experience was great.
Followed down the menu in order and picked from each section. Prawns were delicious and the chicken oysters as well. The steamed egg with crab was amazing and the drinks on point. 100% would go back again.
A cute and cozy Japanese restaurant in the Silver Lake area.
We sat at the bar. They have a nice selection of sake. And you can ask for a taste before ordering a carafe or bottle. We love the Yakitori, the selections are limited but it's very good. Charcoal grilled and we ask to go light on the sauce so we c

A little pricy for a regular night out for me but all their tapas were so good. Caesar Salad. Wagyu.
The food was so good! Service is a little slow though.
I recommend getting the clams and the yuzu chicken yakitori. Also the cod was very flavorful. They have a wide variety of sake to try. It's a little cute place with a great somewhat more fancy ambience, so it would be a great place for a date! Overal

Booked a reservation for 2 here on a Friday night with no troubles. Yes, the other reviews have some valid points such as difficult parking and smaller portion sizes, but the one thing that cannot be disputed is the quality and flavor of the food. An
Excellent food!
I could come here and eat order after order of the croquettes (SO good), but then I would miss out on the tempura mushrooms-and the chicken-and the short ribs-and you get the picture… I enjoyed it so much that by the 2nd dish I kept forgetting to t

Amazing food, but this review is for Zoe's wonderful service! I have a food allergy and she was very attentive to my needs. She spent extra time working with the chef to determine which dishes could be modified for me and made great recommendations.
Tsubaki has a cool NY vibe with the NY prices.
The food was delicious but it comes with a hefty price for an izakaya place in LA. Reservation is a must if you want to score table here. 1. Hirame Kobu-Jime- The hirame was fresh. The grated yuzu made this dish fantastic. 2. Kinoko Tempura- Probabl

Good food! They attend to our table to make sure we had what we needed. They also gave out blankets since we were eating outside and it was cold so that was very thoughtful . Highly recommend!
delicious food.
yum! my boo took me for my bday and i enjoyed it so much! Chicken Heart
Surprised by the hype
We went here after hearing rave reviews. The place small and adorable. The service was solid, not great. They keep the door open to the outside and it was in the 40’s last night so they put blankets on the backs of the chairs so people can stay war
Authentic Izakaya Echo Park= Tokyo
The food was amazing and the flavors are different as they take great care both with the ingredients and the wood that they use. Portions are small so order accordingly, the japanese beer selection was pretty good.

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Tsubaki Los Angeles at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Tsubaki Los Angeles page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* EternalAnt36, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* EternalAnt36 now uses their connections at Tsubaki Los Angeles to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If EternalAnt36 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, EternalAnt36 receives the $200 reward which is credited to EternalAnt36's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Tsubaki Los Angeles!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
